The Experience
Before You Go
Complete the online waiver before arrival
Waivers are mandatory and speed check-in; fill them at the provided link to avoid missing your slot.
Secure eyewear and pockets
All eyewear must be strapped; loose items and hanging cameras are not permitted and risk being lost.
Dress in layers and closed-toe shoes
Mountain weather changes quickly; a light windbreaker and sturdy shoes will keep you comfortable during launch and landing.
Book morning or late-afternoon slots
Mornings usually have steadier air for clearer visibility; late afternoons offer softer light and lighter crowds.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Ride a short connector to the Whistler mid-station for village views rarely seen from the valley floor
- •Look for glacially fed alpine tarns near the landing station for mirror-like reflections in calm weather
Wildlife
- •Black-tailed deer
- •Bald eagles
Conservation Note
Operators emphasize low-impact practices — no loose items, guided groups, and shuttle use to minimize trail erosion; follow Leave No Trace principles while in the area.
The Whistler-Blackcomb area sits on the shared traditional territories of the Squamish and Lil'wat Nations; the mountains have been travel and harvesting landscapes long before recreational development.
Photographer's Notes
